According to Chiefs Digest reporter Matt Derrick, the team has added CB Michael Hunter. Hunter entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State in 2016 and joined the New York Giants. That also happens to be when Chiefs defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, was with the Giants in the same role. Familiarity likely played a part in this decision to bring on Hunter.

Chiefs have signed CB Michael Hunter, per source. 2016 undrafted free agent from Oklahoma State, he’s spent time with six NFL clubs, last with the New York Giants.

Hunter has bounced around several different teams since joining the NFL, including the Jets, Broncos, Bills and Texans. He’s only appeared in six games during his career and all of those came with the Giants during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

At 5-11 and 190 pounds he has good size for the position. Coming out of Oklahoma State he ran a 4.4 40-yard dash and had some pretty explosive testing scores all around.

This move screams of a pure depth signing for the Chiefs and shouldn’t exactly move the needle on their current cornerback woes. They could still very much use some more help beyond Hunter. Help that specifically drives competition at the top of the roster.

The signing should bring the Chiefs up to 90 players on the offseason roster, at least until a corresponding move is made with the injured Reaser.
